Shahrood (River)


Shahrood or Shah-Rud (Persian: شاهرود, Shāhrūd‎‎, literally meaning The great river or the river of the king), also translated as Shah River, is a river of northern Iran.

The Shahrood originates on the slopes of the Takht-e Suleyman Massif at 4850 m. (36°22′N 50°58′E / 36.367°N 50.967°E / 36.367; 50.967). The Taliqan and Alamut rivers conjoin to form the Shahrood river.

It then flows westward through the southern Alborz mountain range to its confluence with the Sefid River. It is a right-hand tributary of the Sefid River, which then flows north through the Alborz into the Caspian Sea.

The Shahrood is about 175 kilometres (109 mi) long.
